Announced last week and now in private beta, Mixed In Key’s new DJ software promises to bring some of Mixed In Key’s existing technologies, plus a healthy dose of new thinking, to the DJ software arena. We’ve spent a weekend playing with it, and today can give you some first thoughts.

Rapidly becoming the iOS power user’s DJ software of choice, DJ Player is about to cement that position with the imminent release of v5.5, which brings digital vinyl control to users of the software on iPad, iPad Mini, iPod Touch and iPhone.

Serato DJ is the new DJ software that will replace Serato ITCH, add Midi mappability into the Mix for Serato controller DJs, and finally give an upgrade path to Serato DJ Intro users. Full feature set and commentary within.
